Top pick: #3 (RAVEN'S TALE) (2-1) - Speedy gelding is cutting back in distance after setting a solid pace and weakening to finish 3rd here at this level going two-turns just 8 days ago. He has the best early speed of this field and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Noble Abode) (9-2) - Gelding is lightly raced and will be facing winners for the first time. Freshened up for the past two months, he broke his maiden here at this trip on May 18 and is nicely spotted by the high percentage barn of Mike Pino.
3rd pick: #7 (Stone Rocks) (4-1) - New York shipper has been racing on the "dull" side for quite some time but his "figures" fit well with this group. He takes a sizable drop and is a win candidate against this crew.
4th pick: #2 (Torpedo Cat) (3-1) - He has some early speed and has been competitive in two straight at this level. In a capable barn (Juan Guerrero)) and this 4yo must be left in the mix.
